Application instructions
Surface Preparation
Any corroded steel in the repair area and all loose scale and
corrosion deposits should be fully exposed. Steel should be
cleaned to a bright condition paying particular attention to the
back of exposed steel bars. Grit-blasting is recommended
for this process.
Where corrosion has occured due to the presence of
chlorides, the steel should be high-pressure washed with
clean water immediately after grit-blasting to remove
corrosion products from pits and imperfections within its
surface.
Application
The application of Nitocote AP35 acrylic primer must take
place as soon as possible to a dry steel surface after
completion of the preparation work but always within 3 hours.
One full and unbroken coat of Nitocote AP35 acrylic primer
shall be applied by suitable brush making sure the surfaces
of the steel are properly coated. A small brush is generally
suitable for this purpose. It shall be allowed to dry fully before
continuing. If in doubt of having achieved an unbroken coating,
a second application should be made as soon as the first
coat is fully dry (generally between 45 minutes and one hour)
The application of concrete repair materials should proceed
as soon as the Nitocote AP35 acrylic primer is fully dry (
generally 45 mins. to 1 hour ).
Minimum application temperature for Nitocote AP35 acrylic
primer is 10
0
C.
Equipment cleaning
Immediately after use, all tools shall be washed with clean
water.

Instructions for use
Preparation of concrete surfaces
All surfaces, which are to receive the lining, must be at least 28
days old and have a moisture content of less than 5%. These
surfaces shall be dry, sound and free form debris and loose
material. The substrate must be free from contamination such
as oil, grease, wax, dirt or any other form of foreign matter
which might affect adhesion.
All blow holes and imperfections should be filled with
Nitomortar FC*
.
Preparation of steel surfaces
All surfaces should be grit blasted to meet the requirements of
BS4232, First Quality.
The lining work should be programmed so that newly cleaned
steel is coated as soon as possible before the formation of
rust or scale.
Priming
Nitocote EN901 is designed to be used without primer.
However, if the condition of the concrete substrate requires
priming, Nitoprime 25* can be used.
Mixing
It is imperative that the resin be thoroughly mixed with the
hardener in the exact ratios to ensure optimum performance.
Therefore, the entire contents of the hardener can should be
added to the base container and mixed until a uniform colour
and consistency is obtained, taking particular care to scrape
the sides and bottom of the container. It is recommended that
mechanical mixing be employed using a Jiffy mixer on a slow
speed electric drill.
Application
Once mixed, Nitocote EN901 should be immediately applied
to the prepared surface ensuring a continuous coating of
uniform thickness is obtained.
Stiff nylon brush or short nap roller is recommended for such
application. Faster rate of application is possible using airless
spray equipment.
Re-coating
To re-coat, it is imperative that the second coat be applied
within the specified over-coating time.
Use of glass fibre reinforcement
Nitocote EN901 may be used in conjunction with glass fibre
cloth to increase the thickness of the system or, where
necessary, bridge fine cracks in the substrate. The cloth should
be laid directly on the first coat whilst wet and should be
pressed in and smoothed out with a split washer roller. A
second coat should then be applied within the specified over-
coating time.
Use of Fosroc Anti-slip grains
Nitocote EN901 can be used in conjunction with Fosroc Antislip
Grains*
to provide a heavy-duty slip-resistant flooring system.

The first coat will be applied as described above with a
minimum film thickness of 200 microns. The base coat should
now be dressed with the chosen Fosroc Antislip Grains.
The recommended procedure is to completely blind the base
coat i.e. apply excess dressing aggregate to completely
obliterate the base coat.
When the base coat has reached initial cure, the excess Antislip
Grains should be vacuum-cleaned from the surface.
The top coat can then be applied. Care should be taken to
ensure that a continuous film is achieved and the surface is
completely sealed.
Cleaning
Nitocote EN901 should be removed from tools and equipment
with Nitoflor Sol* immediately after use. Cured material can
only be removed mechanically.
Nitocote
EN901
Limitations
Substrate, ambient and product temperature must remain
above 15C during application and curing. Minimum
material/container temperature for spray application is
20C. Avoid moisture contamination.
Nitoflor EN901should not be applied on to surfaces known
to, or likely to suffer from, rising dampness, potential
osmosis problems or have a relative humidity greater than
75% as measured in accordance with BS 8203 Appendix
A, or by a Thermo Hygrometer
Application should not be undertaken if the temperature is
below 5C, or is 5C and falling, nor when the prevailing
relative humidity exceeds 90%.
Nitocote EN901 may not be colour stable when in contact
with some chemicals or direct sunlight. The colour change
will not affect the performance of the protective system
either on concrete or steel.

water. The cured film shall comply with the requirements of
IS:9833 - 1981.
Preparation
Concrete surfaces
All surfaces must be smooth, sound and free from debris,
loose or flaky material and areas of standing water. Surfaces
must be free from contamination such as oil, grease, dust,
loose particles and organic growth. Concrete surfaces must
be fully cured, laitance free and free from any traces of
shuttering, release oils and curing compounds.
All surfaces should then be grit blasted to remove all foreign
matter and open up blow-holes, and provide a suitable key
for Nitocote EP405.
All blow holes and imperfections should be filled with Nitocote
VF / Nitomortar FC.
Steel surfaces
All surfaces should be grit blasted to obtain bright metal
surface. The lining work should be programmed so that newly
cleaned steel is coated as soon as possible before the
formation of rust or scale.
Mixing
The contents of the base can should be stirred thoroughly to
disperse any settlement. The entire contents of the hardener
can should be poured into the base container and mixed
thoroughly until a uniform consistency is obtained, taking
particular care to scrape the sides and bottom of the container.
It is recommended that mechanical mixing be employed,

The thoroughly mixed material should be applied with a
suitable stiff nylon type brush.
The first coat must be firmly applied and be well scrubbed into
the surface, ensuring a uniform coating with a wet film
thickness not less than 100 microns. The first coat should be
allowed to become tack free before applying the second coat.
The second coat should be applied exactly as above, again
achieving a wet film thickness not less than 100 microns.
For ease of overcoating, it is recommended that the first coat
be white and the second coat be blue, or vice - versa.
For cold weather working, it is recommended that Nitocote
EP405 be stored i n a heated bui l di ng and removed
immediately before use, as workability deteriorates and curing
times increase at lower temperatures.
Cleaning
Nitocote EP405 should be removed from tools and equipment
with Nitoflor Sol, solvent immediately after use. Cured material
can only be removed mechanically.
Limitations

Ni t oc ot e ET402*
I nst r uc t i ons f or use
Preparation
All surfaces to be treated with Nitocote ET402 must be clean
and free from dust or loose material.
Concrete surfaces
All laitance must be removed by grit blasting, or other suitable
removal methods. The general standard of surface preparation
should be in accordance with ACI 503R-89, Chapter 5,
Paragraph 5.4.
Following the preparation of a concrete surface, care should
be taken to ensure that any surface irregularities are filled with
Nitomortar FC*
or Nitomortar FC(B)*
.
Metal surfaces
Any metal surfaces should be grit blasted to a bright finish,
meeting the requirements of Swedish Standard SA 2 or equal.
Priming
Concrete surfaces
Priming is not required on properly prepared concrete surfaces
- see Preparation section.
Metal surfaces
All metal surfaces should be coated immediately after
preparation. If this is not possible and to eliminate formation
of rust, prime the metal surfaces using Nitoprime 25*.
Mixing
The contents of the resin can should be thoroughly stirred to
disperse any possible settlement.
The entire contents of both the hardener and resin cans should
be poured into a suitable sized mixing vessel.
It is recommended that the two components are mixed together
mechanically using a slow speed electric drill fitted with a
Fosroc Mixing Paddle (MR3). Mixing should be carried out
continuously for 3 to 5 minutes, until a uniform consistency is
achieved.
Although Nitocote ET402 is a non-solvented product, it is still
recommended that mixing should take place in an open, well
ventilated area.
Application
A minimum 2 coat application is generally recommended to
ensure a full, unbroken coating is achieved.
Brush application
Once mixed, the material should be immediately applied,
ensuring that a continuous coating is obtained. The first coat
is applied to achieve a uniform coating with a wet film thickness
not less than 200 microns, and should be allowed to dry for at
least 6 hours at 35C before the application of the second
coat.
The second coat should be applied between 6 hours and 4
days (at 35C) after the application of the first coat, at 45C
this will be reduced to 3 hours. The second coat should be
applied as above again achieving a wet film thickness not
less than 200 microns.
Spray application
Where large areas are to be coated, it is advisable to consider
spray application. Consult the local Fosroc office for further
details and recommendations.
Cleaning
Tools and equipment should be cleaned with Fosroc Solvent
102* immediately after use.
Hot weather working practices
Whilst the performance properties of Nitocote ET402 at
elevated temperatures are assured, application under such
conditions can sometimes be difficult. It is therefore suggested
that, for temperatures above 35C, the following guidelines
are adopted as a prudent working regime:
(i) Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably temperature
controlled) environment, avoiding exposure to direct
sunlight.
(ii) Keep mixing and placing equipment cool, arranging shade
protection if necessary. It is especially important to keep
cool those surfaces of the equipment which will come into
direct contact with the material itself.
(iii) Try to eliminate application in the middle of the day, and
certainly avoid application in direct sunlight.
(iv) For hand application, ensure that there are sufficient
operatives available to complete application within the pot
life of the material.
(v) Have a ready supply of Fosroc Solvent 102 available for
immediate cleaning of tools after use.
Nitocote ET402 - Page 3 of 4
Ni t oc ot e ET402*
Repairing and overcoating
Any applications of Nitocote ET402 which have become
damaged can be readily overcoated.
The existing surface should well abraded, using a stiff wire
brush, or similar, to ensure that a good mechanical bond will
be achieved between the two layers.
Overcoating works can then proceed as for new work, always
ensuring that the prepared substrate is free from any moisture.
Li mi t at i ons
- Nitocote ET402 should not be applied over other existing
coatings, but can be applied on top of itself (see above).
- For cold weather working (down to 5C), it is recommended
that materials are stored in a heated building and only
removed immediately before use. Accelerated heating
methods are not to be utilised under any circumstances.
- In contact with moisture/high humidity during cure, the colour
of the coatings will change to brown/red.

Nitocote
HT120
Preparation
Concrete surfaces
loose or flaking material and areas of standing water. Surfaces
must be free from contamination such as oil, grease and
organic growth. Concrete surfaces must be fully cured, laitance
free and free from any traces of shutter release oils and curing
compounds.
To achieve the above it is recommended that the substrate
should be grit blasted which will also provide a suitable key for
Nitocote HT120.
All blow holes and imperfections should be filled with
Nitomortar FC*
.
Consult the local data sheet for pot life and
overcoating time.
Steel surfaces
All surfaces should be grit blasted to meet the requirements of
BS 4232, First Quality. The lining work should be programmed
so that newly cleaned steel is coated as soon as possible
before the formation of rust or scale.
Mixing
The contents of the base can should be stirred thoroughly to
disperse any settlement. The entire contents of the hardener
can should be added to the base container and mixed
thoroughly until a uniform consistency is obtained, taking
particular care to scrape the sides and bottom of the container.
It is recommended that mechanical mixing be employed, using
a mixing paddle on a heavy duty, slow speed electric drill. Mixing
should be carried out continuously for a minimum of 3 minutes.
Application
The minimum application temperature is 5C.
All surfaces should be treated with two coats of Nitocote HT120.
The thoroughly mixed material should be applied with a
suitable brush, roller or spray.
The first coat must be firmly applied and be well scrubbed into
the surface, ensuring a uniform coating with a wet film
thickness not less than 200 microns. The first coat should be
allowed to dry for not less than 3 hours and not more than 14
hours at 35C.
The second coat should be applied exactly as above, again
achieving a wet film thickness not less than 200 microns.
For cold weather working, it is recommended that Nitocote
HT120 be stored i n a heated bui l di ng and removed
immediately before use, as workability deteriorates and curing
times increase at lower temperatures.
Cleaning
Nitocote HT120 should be removed from tools and equipment
with Nitoflor Sol immediately after use. Cured material can
only be removed mechanically.
Limitations
- Nitocote HT120 is formulated for application to clean, sound
concrete and steel.
- Nitocote HT120 should not be applied over existing
coatings.
- Application should not be undertaken if the temperature is
below 5C, or is 5C and falling.
- In conditions of high relative humidity i.e. 85-90% good
ventilation conditions are essential. Substrate temperature
should be at least 3C above dew point.
- Although Nitocote HT120 may be applied to damp concrete,
there must be no standing or running water.
- Nitocote HT120 is not colour stable when exposed to direct
sunlight or when in contact with some chemicals such
as acids and oxidising agents.

Properties
Water resistance
Repels rain water and inhibits ingress of surface water
provided there is no hydrostatic pressure.
Permeability
Permeability is low to water, salt solution, dust and soot
particles. Leaching of soluble salts from brick work, which
causes efflrescence, absorption of deicing salts by concrete
which causes degradation and absorption of atmospheric
dirt by brickwork, concrete and stone are all minimised.
Water vapour release
Nitocote SN522 allows building surfaces to breathe naturally.
Preparation
Surfaces should be dry, although slight dampness is not
detrimental. Surface to be treated should be free from oil,
grease, loose particles, decayed matter and moss or algae
growth. For this, cleaning with Reebaklens is recommended.
Joints in brickwork should be sound. If not, should be raked
and redone with cement/sand mortar using Conplast X421IC
waterproofing compound.
Coating
Apply Nitocote SN522 evenly by spraying or brushing. Ensure
an even coat over the entire surface. Porous surface should
be well saturated with a two coat application.
Decorating
Decorative coatings can be applied to surfaces previously
treated with Nitocote SN522. Water based cement or
emulsion paints should not be applied on coated areas. They
can be applied before coating the surface with Nitocote SN522
coating.
Cleaning
Brushes and equipment should be cleaned with Nitoflor Sol

Surface preparation
loose or flaking material and areas of standing water. Surfaces
must be free from contamination such as oil, grease, dust,
loose particles and organic growth. Concrete surfaces must
be fully cured, laitence free and free from any traces of
shuttering, release oils and curing compounds.
All surfaces should then be grit blasted to remove all foreign
matter and open up blow-holes, and provide a suitable key for
Nitocote UR512. All blow holes and imperfections should be
filled with Nitomortar FC, epoxy putty.
Mixing
The individual components should be thoroughly stirred before
mixing them together. The components should then be
mechanically mixed together for atleast 3 minutes using a
slow speed (400 - 500 RPM) drill machine attached with a
mixing paddle.
Application
Apply Nitocote UR512 with a nylon brush, or a flat pile felt roller,
to the prepared substrate at a thickness of 100 microns WFT
(45 microns DFT). Allow Nitocote UR512 first coat to dry for 2-
4 hours at 30
0
C and then apply the second coat. When applying
Nitocote UR512 as a topcoat over any of the Nitocote range of
epoxy systems, it must be applied after 6 hours but within 24
hours of applying the epoxy.
Note : When applying Nitocote UR512, if the moisture content
in the substrate is more than 3%, blistering of the coating may
occur.
Curing
This coating will become tack free in approximately 2 - 4 hours
and be fully cured in 5 days.
Number of coats
Two finish coats are recommended unless used as a top
coat for freshly applied epoxies.
Cleaning
Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with Nitoflor
Sol. Wash hands and skin with soap, or an industrial hand
cleaner.
Limitations
Minimum ambient surface and material temperature must be
between 10 to 40
0
C. For applications outside this range,
contact Fosroc for advise. Application of the product should
be always on dry substrates.
Storage
Shelf life
Nitocote UR512 has a shelf life of 6 months when stored
under normal warehouse conditions in unopened containers.
Exposure to moisture greatly reduces the shelf life, particularly
that of the hardener.
Estimating
Packaging
